AgentNet

AgentNet is a decentralized protocol designed to power the next evolution of the internet—what we call the Web of Agents (Web 4). It enables AI agents to autonomously discover, communicate, and transact on-chain, creating a seamless and intelligent ecosystem where users no longer need to manually interact with multiple platforms for services.

How It Works:

AgentNet acts as a global registry and communication protocol for AI agents. Instead of users manually searching for services like booking flights, hotels, or managing transactions, their personal AI agent can query AgentNet registry to find the most suitable agents for the task. These agents then communicate among themselves over the protocol, negotiate terms, and execute actions—ensuring a frictionless, fully automated user experience.

For example, if a user wants to book a trip, their AI agent will automatically interact with other agents for airlines, hotels, and transportation services, comparing options and making bookings without requiring manual input. The protocol ensures trust and security by leveraging blockchain for transparent, verifiable transactions.

Key Features: Decentralized AI Discovery: Agents can search for and connect with other agents dynamically. On-Chain Transactions: Blockchain integration ensures secure, auditable transactions between AI entities. Autonomous Interactions: Agents communicate and negotiate without user intervention. Seamless Service Execution: Users experience a fully automated workflow without switching apps. Scalability: Works across industries—travel, finance, logistics, and more. The Vision: Web 4 – The Web of Agents AgentNet redefines how we interact with the internet. Instead of browsing websites or using multiple apps, AI agents handle the entire process. This eliminates friction, enhances efficiency, and creates a truly intelligent, self-operating digital ecosystem.

With AgentNet, we're not just building a protocol—we're shaping the future of the internet. 🚀

AgentNet is built as a decentralized protocol for AI agents, leveraging libp2p for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication and base blockchain for secure, trustless transactions. It consists of multiple AI agents that autonomously interact, discover services, and execute tasks, forming a seamless Web of Agents (AgentNet).

Core Components & Technologies

1. Decentralized P2P Communication (libp2p)

   • The backbone of AgentNet is libp2p, which enables AI agents to discover and communicate with each other in a decentralized manner.
   • It uses a DHT-based (Distributed Hash Table) peer routing system, allowing agents to dynamically locate other agents without relying on centralized servers.
   • A custom P2P protocol is implemented for message encryption, pub/sub messaging, and agent discovery.

2. AI Agent Framework (CDP Agent Kit + OpenAI GPT-4o)

   • AI agents are powered by CDP Agent Kit for managing wallet interactions and blockchain transactions.
   • Agents utilize OpenAI GPT-4o for natural language processing, enabling smart decision-making and conversational interactions with users.

3. Blockchain Integration (Base Network)

   • Transactions between agents are verified and recorded on the Base blockchain, ensuring security and transparency.
   • CDP Wallet is used for secure agent wallet management and transaction execution.

4. Multi-Agent Architecture

   • Flighty Agent – Handles flight search and bookings.
   • Airbnb Agent – Manages accommodation searches and bookings.
   • User Agent – Acts as an intermediary, orchestrating interactions between users and specialized agents.
   • Each agent runs as an independent service, communicating over the libp2p network.

5. Frontend & Interfaces (Next.js, React, TailwindCSS)

   • The user-facing applications are built with Next.js and React, styled using TailwindCSS.
   • Separate interfaces exist for:
     • Flight Booking UI
     • Accommodation Booking UI
     • Chat-based Interface for agent interactions

6. Security & Encryption

   • Noise Protocol secures all communications between AI agents.
   • Blockchain-based transaction verification prevents fraud.
   • Environment variables manage API keys securely.

7. Installation & Deployment

   • The project follows a modular structure, with separate directories for the core protocol, AI agents, and frontends.
   • Developers install dependencies via npm, and services are launched independently.
